They say mothers know best but sometimes, even
mothers need help when it comes to making the right decisions for their child,
especially when it comes to their health. It is normal for moms to seek child
care advice and parenting tips from experts as well as from family and friends
with parental experience. However, there will be instances when they would end
up more confused and less confident to make a decision after hearing varying
recommendations or contradicting views.

As a first time mom, I always asks other Mommies on what products will I use or give to my daughter especially when I am looking for the best growing up milk. I've searched the net, asked in mommy forums, read books, and of course, I've checked the labels of the milk that they have suggested. Most Moms recommended NIDO® 1+ that's why when Rylee turned 1 year old, we switched to NIDO and we made the right choice!

My daughter is certified #LakingNido baby because

until now that she's 3 years old, she still drinks NIDO® 3+!

Last July 28, NIDO® 3+ launches #CheckTheLabel, an educational
campaign to encourage mothers to read and have a better understanding of food
labels, so they can make smarter and healthier choices for their child. By
checking the label, moms can verify nutritional claims, compare brands, and choose
which one offers the best value for money.

How to read food labels

Ditas Sagarbarria, Nutrition Adviser for Nestlé Infant Nutrition, taught guests how to properly read food labels and provided everyone with a better understanding of the significance of how the ingredients in each product are listed.

When checking food labels, take a look at the
ingredients which are listed in the order of highest to lowest quantity. Watch
out for health-sensitive ingredients such as sugar, salt, saturated fat, and sodium.
When it comes to these, moderation is always key to better prevent the risk of
obesity, diabetes, and other lifestyle-related diseases.

Next, review the nutrition facts. It is
important to go through each one to determine whether or not a particular food
product meets the daily nutritional requirements of children, especially during
their crucial growing-up years. Knowing the nutritional content can determine
if a child is eating a healthy, balanced diet.

Another good reason to check the label is to identify nutrients that are unique to a brand. Not all food products like milk are created the same, so choose the one that provides for your child’s needs, and more.

Patricia Turcuato, Lead Consumer Marketing Manager for NIDO Growing Up Milk (GUM), formally launched the #CheckTheLabel campaign and talked about the nutrients found in NIDO® 3+ that make it unique to other GUM brands, such as Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®, millions of live good bacteria that help maintain stomach balance and help strengthen the immune system.

Developed by the best of Nestlé Research, NIDO® 3+
is the only milk brand with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS®,
millions and millions of live good bacteria that maintain the balance of good and
bad bacteria in the gut, which in turn help strengthen the immune system.
This unique
probiotic can be found in every glass of NIDO® 3+ along with other
essential nutrients such as:
Prebio® 3, indigestible fibers that serve as food for good
bacteria to grow and survive; DHA, ALA, LA and
Taurine to support proper brain structure; and high levels of vitamins A, D, Calcium and Zinc to support overall growth and development.

Sarah Lahbati checks the label

Lending her voice and support to the campaign is
proud NIDO® 3+ mommy, Sarah Lahbati.

By precisely checking the label, Sarah Lahbati

is assured that she made the right choice with NIDO® 3+.

The newest endorser of NIDO® 3+, Sarah Lahbati answered questions regarding the struggles she faced as a first-time mom and how checking the label of her options helped her make smarter and healthier choices for Zion.

Having experienced the same challenge
when it was time for her to choose a growing-up milk for Zion when he turned
three, the first-time mom learned that the best way for her to make a decision
was to do research herself and check the labels on her options. And by precisely
checking the label, Sarah Lahbati is assured that she made the right choice
with NIDO® 3+.

NIDO® 3+ is specially formulated with the right amount and
combination of nutrients for growth and development during his pre-school
years. It has DHA, ALA, LA, Folic Acid and Taurine to support brain function
and is the only one with Prebio® 3 and Lactobacillus PROTECTUS® to help protect
and build your child’s bodily defenses.
